Smoky, sweet, spicy and… cheesy? This unique tart is a Caribbean-British mashup you didn’t know you needed.

Jerk-Seasoned Plantain & Cheddar Tart

Typically described as:

You’ve had jerk chicken, maybe jerk tofu… but have you baked with jerk seasoning? This recipe gives savoury tart night a total revamp, combining sweet ripe plantains, tangy mature cheddar, and a buttery pastry base with a proper kick of Greenfields Jerk Seasoning. It’s unexpected. It’s brilliant. And it’s absolutely not on any recipe blog you’ll find. This is where the tropics crash the tea party—in the best way.

serves 6

Prep time: 25 mins
Chill time: 30 mins
Cook time: 35 mins

For the pastry:

  • 200g plain flour

  • 100g unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  • Pinch of salt

  • 3–4 tbsp cold water

For the filling:

  • 2 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced

  • 1 small red onion, finely sliced

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp Greenfields Jerk Seasoning

  • 2 large eggs

  • 100ml double cream

  • 100g mature cheddar, grated

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Thyme

  • Pinch of Greenfields Cracked Black Pepper

  • Optional: a few Greenfields Hot Chilli Flakes if you like it fiery

  1. Make the pastry: In a bowl, rub the cold butter into the flour with a pinch of salt until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add cold water a tablespoon at a time until it forms a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. Roast the plantains: While the pastry chills, toss the sliced plantains and red onion with olive oil and Greenfields Jerk Seasoning. Roast on a tray at 180°C fan (200°C conventional) for 20 minutes until caramelised and tender.

  3. Blind bake the tart case: Roll out your pastry and line a tart tin (roughly 20cm). Prick the base, line with parchment and baking beans, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the beans and bake for 5 minutes more.

  4. Make the filling: In a jug, whisk the eggs, cream, cheddar, thyme, and cracked black pepper.

  5. Assemble: Arrange the roasted plantains and onions in the tart shell, pour over the egg mixture, and sprinkle extra cheese if you like.

  6. Bake: Return to the oven for 25–30 minutes until golden and set.

  7. Serve: Delicious warm with a leafy salad or cool as a picnic slice.

If your plantains are very ripe (black skin), they’ll be softer and sweeter—perfect. Slightly less ripe (yellow with black spots) will give more texture and a less sweet profile.
